now turning out $2OO,OOO per month
with its 12O-stamp mill. From this
point the line will be extended to the
Dearborn coal mines and beyond.
The Bitter Root Valley branch will be
built at once, connecting Helena with
the Granite mine, which turns out

\ correspondent of the Helena hide
pendent writes from Billings, as follows:
There has been and still is, IA mis-
understanding witls the press and
people of Montana in regard to graz
ing cattle on the Crow Indian rescr
vation. The agent has no right to
and has not granted permits to any
parties to drive cattle to the Crow
reservation to Craze thereon. and all
reports that such permits were being
granted to story and Others are false
and have led TO much trouble. Now,
the situation i SIMPLY thls, there IL
no grass on the range north OF the
Yellowstone. The range was not over
stocked, but last summer was the
dryest ever known and grass did not
grow. In some pl..ces where n good
crop of hay was cut in 1855, in 1856
the grass did not grow high enough
to cover the stubble OF the previous
years moving. Most of the steers
shipped from the Lake Basin, Mussel
shell and other ranges north of The
Yellowstone, were only fit for feeder
when they arrived in Chicago and sold
ior a low price. On the above named
ranges the feed was exhausted by the
first of October and cattle We're falling
off at that time, many 60 : being as
thin as they usually are in ,iarcl, and
To hold all those cattle there simply
meant the destruction of all and men
could hardly be blamed for seeking
feed where they could find it. The
Crow Indians had n large amount of
grass for which they had no use-but
,he agent could not sell it, and any
man vino droye stock upon the reser
vltion knew that he was laying HIM
self liable to all penalties of the laws
"for such eases made and rrOvided,"

an extract from an editorial in the Boze-
man Courier a little overa year ago. whose
editor is older and has had more editorial

an old man, bending beneath the weight of

PROHIBITION IN CHARLESTON.

Our Charleston correspondent mentions
a very undesirable state of affairs in re-
gard 10 prohibition in Charleston. Not
only is liquor sold in defiance of law, but
On additional quantity seems to be put
upon the market. At least this is true,
if we judge by the fact that One-half more
United States licenses have been issued
than there were before prohibition WAS
adopted. How can this be explained on
any other grounds? And in addition to
liquor being sold in defiance Of the law,
the State no longer receives any revenue
IRON it. The liquor seller pockets what
formerly went to the State in revenue.
The Legislature of Maine has made the
possession of United States license prima
fleile evidence Of theiguilt ofselling, and q
great contest is now going on in that State
over this law that is just going into effect.
IL is claimed that it is unconstitutional.
In Maine, rs in Charleston and almost
everywhere else, it Is found to be imPoSsI-
BILE to accomplish much while the United
States Government licenses and encourages
the traffic without any regard to the sentt-
ments Of the people in the localities are.
As long as this is done, what else can
b. expected than that local
laws will be diSregarded and
that States and communities will aC-
complish little by their zeal for prohibit
ton, except to have the uncertain satjsfac-
ton of seeing that their laws are dead
letter and have lost them revenue, which
has gone into the pockets Of the liquor
dealer. While this condition exists, what
can the people do that will he more bene-
fetal and effective than to form a well
regulated license law? No one has yet
successfully demonstrated that there is
ANYTHING better.
